This will conflict with Sean's MMU notifier series patches:

KVM: x86/mmu: Pass address space ID to __kvm_tdp_mmu_zap_gfn_range()

What I can do for now is change the mmu.c part of that patch to

 }
 
 
but you will have to add a separate "if (flush)" when moving the write_unlock
earlier, since there's no downgrade function for rwlocks.  In practice it's
not a huge deal since unless running nested there will be only one active MMU.
